I. Global Server down/Can't see any Server The Global Server got shut down, but the Freelancer Comunity created their own ones. If you want to play on FL servers, just download FLMM and the Global Server Workaround Mod. If you still don't see any servers then try also to forward the ports 2300-2400 UDP. |

|
II. Freelancercrash Go to the FL Options Menu and deactivate the 3D-Sound. Eventually rest of mods are still left in your Freelancer directory, just open FLMM, go to Tools->Restore Backups. If this doesn't help, reinstall Freelancer. If you get a crash to desktop at the startup right after the loading screen goto your "My documents" folder, open "My Games", "Freelancer" and delete the restart.fl file in the single player folder. |

III. Help, my characters are gone! You may have reinstalled FL or Windows and you lost your ID by this way, just create a new topic in the help forums of the server you are playing at, where you descripe your problem and post at least 1 of your old character names and one 1 newly-created character. Another explanation is that your characters had less than 5 minutes playtime or 1 year (or another given time period) inactivity, then they are lost cause of the last character deletion. Or you gave someone your ID and he deleted your chars. Do not give your ID to anyone! |

IV. Can't connect to any Server (Vista) Norton, mcafee securityCenter or Kaspersky aren't allowed to be on your PC, deactivating them don't do it!, if you have Avast! you have to deinstall the NetworkShield. You should eventual turn off IPv6 and give a static LAN IP Addresse in the IPv4. Alternativly, you can also install Vista Service Pack 2. |

|
V. FLMM under Vista FLMM may don't work right under Vista system, just right-click on the shortcut or FLMM.exe -> Properties, tick on "Execute as Admin" and set the compability mode to Win XP or Win 2000.

VI. Loud Sound in Freelancer It is a bug, especially if you switch back from the desktop to FL. The only one thing that you can do is to rename the sounds or delete them, which result in having no sound anymore in Freelancer. Go to the Audiofolder and rename (or delete) the 4 containing folders, but NOT the Audiofolder, or it WILL come to problems! |
|
|
VII. Gigant/no font ingame Just move the fonts from the FL CD to C:\Windows\Fonts. If you don't know where your CD is, you can also download them here. |

VIII. Creating more IDs/Saving IDs See FAQ here |

IX. Kick when you buy a ship You are not allowed to buy the same ship as you already have when you dock on the station. If you want to buy a cloak ship (aviable at some servers), then you aren't allowed to have the same ship without cloaking device. |

X. Lag Kicks with Vista Increase priority in Task Manager for Freelancer |

XI. FPS problems/mouse lag with Vista
Download DX8 -> DX9 Converter and unpack in FL\EXE folder. |

XII. Avira Antivir alert with debuglib.dll The alert with debuglib.dll is a false positive from antivir, that means that there isnt a real virus in this file. You can disable the alert by adding debuglib.dll in extras->configuration->[X]Expert Mode->Guard->Search->Exceptions in "Not scanned file objects". The alert will also appear in a scan, so do the same thing with the scanner in the configuration. (Note that I have the german version of Antivir but guess you will find through even not all names/descriptions are the same how I translated) |

XIII. Problems with modifications If you have problems with particular modifications I advise you to go to the modification's homepage instead. They know their own modifications way better than I do. You can find the most modification's websites in the "Freelancer Community Network Bar" - The blue bar at the very top of this homepage. |
